Well, that's a different look at the top. Considering that Murphy and Church are the two of the players most often said to be in Jerry's doghouse, I guess this is the 'Who Let the Dogs Out' lineup.

[ashie62]

Nothing in the lineup below Wright who is proteced by Reed. yeeshh..

Now score some damn runs!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Reed still batting 333 brutha.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

LGM, YGB, YYY, BBB

[Guest Edgy DC]

Jerry Manuel is effectively battingmagadanleadoff.

The future begins today, and I'm crazy for it.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Mets in the classikc grays, Sawx in hideous red jerseys that my old softball team would have been embarrassed to wear. And we wore orange for three years.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

What a way to start the first - Ellsbury reaches on a chopper and Wright boots a DP ball.

Santana, who is twice the man I ever hope to be, dismisses the whole mess as a mere inconvenience and fans Ortiz. He's going to get out of this unscathed or my name's not Ashie62.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Youkilis also waves feebly at strike 3, and Santana glances in at Bay with disdain.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Sheffield Kabooms, and it's 1-0 Mets.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Who else knows how Santana feels? This guy.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Varitek hits a high change over that large green wall in left field, and it's tied at 1.

[metirish]

Lots of Mets fans there , nice to see that.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Irish, good to see you. I was starting to feel like Earl Holliman in the Twilight Zone pilot.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Santana gets Ortiz on a pitch that Ted Fucking Williams himself couldn't have hit. Pedrioa on second with a 310.25' double that hit nine feet up on the wall, but Youkilis will prove no match for Santana.

[metirish]

Good to see you too Swanie , don't know why but I really don't like Youkilis at all , he looks like a prick maybe that's it.

Youkilis swings at a pitch that he couldn't have hit with a cricket bat, and leaves Pedroia out at second base pondering his curiously receding hairline. Still 1-1.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Beltran says thwack with the one-out double.

edit -- uh-oh

It would be funny if Sheff ends up leading the team in HR's

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Attaboy Davey

2-1 courtesy of mr. Wright

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Beltran stays hot, Sheff gets on base AGAIN, and Wright stays even hotter. Mets up 2-1 for Reed, hitting sixth by default.

[ashie62]

Omir..oh my Omir!!!

[metirish]

WOW...Omir

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Reed's hustle gives Santos a chance to drive in a run, and that he does.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Wheeeeeeeeee!

[ashie62]

Old men are hitting well

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Holy shit, a nice turn at bat for Ramon Martinez.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Those dopey caps look like Spring Training wear.
